Recommendations for rear shocks & smooth ride

[Robert McMillan]

I just ordered a set of Bilstein Expedtion 5100's for my '15 XLT as my ride has gotten quite bouncy at 62k. I'm anxious to get them installed as I heard they are quite the improvement over stock.

Report back, looking at these for both my 2016s

Will do but might be a bit. They have been on back order through Bilstein for several weeks now.

Yeah I’ve noticed that, I think the shocks themselves all had Covid-19 so they’ve been in quarantine

I went with KYB on our 17 EL because of the Bilstein back order. I'm happy with the ride. It is more controlled but not rough.

Eh, KYB is not my favorite. I’ll wait for 5100s

About two months ago, I installed Bilstein 4600s, new factory coils and a 2" front, 2" rear kit. It rides fantastic. I'd recommend the 4600s for sure!

Got pics of your ride? I just ordered my lift and 35’s

Do they even make 5100s for the rear? I know people have used 5100s from f150’s

I just replaced my factory shocks and springs on my '16 Expy EL XLT at 99K miles with the KYB Strut-Plus assemblies. I love the thought of the Bilsteins but didn't want to have to compress my springs to install them, so I went with the assemblies. I've got about 700 miles on them since replacement and have been really happy with them so far. The ride is much firmer then before but nice and solid. I also added the 3/2 ReadyLift at the same time. No telling how long the KYBs will last but I'm happy with them so far.

Got pics of your ride with the lift?

Where did you get 5100’s for the expy? I’m in the market for new struts on my 09’
